Validation schedule

Validation schedule is the last but not the least important component of overall validation activity. The validation schedule prepared for ABC Pharmaceutical Industries defines a time line chart for the execution of IQ, OQ, PQ, PV, CLV, etc., to attain sufficient documented evidence to give reasonable assurance that the process under consideration does and/or will do what it purports to do.

The scheduling of the process requires the scheduler to decide (a) how many times each task needs to be started in order to satisfy the market demand and (b) to assign starting and finishing dates to the tasks. This is nontrivial because a valid schedule must meet the following requirements ... 

Unfortunately, few analytical methods are developed in a perfect world. A more likely situation has method development and validation scheduled on a tight time line. Using an HPLC assay and related compounds method for a novel DS as an example,Table 5 outlines a realistic development scenario that would provide for a method that could be successfully validated and utilized.

Lessons Learned. It s very early in the game to make predictions about what changes may be needed as a result of the Manwood test. However, there are already some useful insights that the Task Force expects to factor into the PSM installation plan for the division. These include 1) We need to be very clear in introducing PSM to our employees, and take time to answer their questions. Orientation meetings should be at least 90 minutes, not the one hour we had scheduled. 2) Getting valid feedback takes some effort personnel need to know we mean it when we say we want constructive criticism. 3) Close collaboration between the Task Force and the facility manager is absolutely vital. 

The team should be realistic about the time required to see improvements in end-of-pipe measures in most cases the pilot project success will be measured on efficiency improvements and other in-process measures alone. In this case it is important to demonstrate that all PSM and ESH issues are being managed. You should consider having a management systems audit (validation) conducted by a group independent of the integration project team. This may be done in conjunction with the next scheduled audit. This may be a corporate or divisional audit function or a consultant engaged specifically for this task. 

Equation 2-25 is valid for calculating the head loss due to valves and fittings for all conditions of flows laminar, transition, and turbulent [3], The K values are a related function of the pipe system component internal diameter and the velocity of flow for v-/2g. The values in the standard tables are developed using standard ANSI pipe, valves, and fittings dimensions for each schedule or class [3]. The K value is for the size/type of pipe, fitting, or valve and not for the fluid, regardless of whether it is liquid or gas/vapor. 

The results of the risk assessment prioritization can be reflected in an organizational validation master plan. Therefore, an organization can demonstrate the sequence in which they intend to address validation activities from a scheduling point of view. 

Many companies have developed or purchased computer software for the purpose of storing stability data for a large number of studies. Examples of commercially available systems are SLIM [147] and Stability System [148]. These systems can perform other functions as well, including work scheduling, preparation of summaries of selected or all studies in the system, tabulation of data for individual studies, label printing, statistical analysis and plotting, and search capabilities. Such systems should be validated to keep pace with current regulatory activity [149],... 

During validation, the relationship between response and concentration is established. Checks also are made to ensure that the linearity of the method does not make too large a contribution to the measurement uncertainty (the uncertainty due to the calibration should contribute less than about 20% of the largest uncertainty component). The calibration schedule required during routine operation of the method is also established. It is wise to carry out sufficient checks on some or all of the following performance parameters, in order to establish that their values meet any specified limits. 

Especially in an industrial environment conditional demand is an important concept. This is because orders usually allow for some delivery time. This delivery time is in many cases long enough to be taken into account in production scheduling. As the deadline for orders for a certain date of delivery comes closer one can compare the original forecast with the orders that were already received. It is intuitively clear that if many orders were already received this implies a somewhat increasing forecast with less uncertainty. Sometimes orders that were already received can be used to automate the forecast to a certain extent because one knows that usually 25% are ordered four weeks in advance, 50% are ordered two weeks in advance and the like. We assume here that there is a valid latest forecast at the point in time where a decision on the next production volume is necessary and the orders that were already received are taken into account at that fixed point in time. 

We define the following parameters for the example process B0 = Bi = B2 = B3 = B4 = 20 d = d2 = 3 d3 = 2 b = 10 b2 = bz = 4. The initial amount of Si is 20 units and the goal of the production is to produce 8 units of S3 and 12 units of S4. The optimal schedule with respect to the makespan (the overall production time) is shown in Figure 10.2. Each occurrence of a task in the schedule is called an operation and the number of operations must be determined by the scheduler. The schedule in Figure 10.2 is obviously valid because it satisfies the requirements from Section 10.1.3. It is also optimal, because none of the operations can be shifted to the left to reduce the makespan which is determined by the last operation of T3. In the optimal schedule, 2 operations of both, T1 and T2, as well as 3 operations of T3 are necessary to meet the market demand. The optimal makespan is 10 and all raw and intermediate materials have been processed without overproduction of final products. 

Each valid evolution starts in a predefined initial state in which sufficient quantities of the raw materials are given. Furthermore, it must meet the requirements from Section 10.1.3. A schedule will be accepted only if the market demand has been satisfied. Hence, at the end of the evolution, the demanded quantities of final products must be present in the storages. Each evolution which does not satisfy the above requirements leads to an invalid schedule and thus must be rejected. In order to synthesize a valid and optimal schedule, the scheduler has to fix all degrees of freedom by choosing appropriate signals for the resource automata. A valid and optimal schedule corresponds to evolutions which minimize a given optimality criterion.

Although the static type model tells what snapshots could be drawn at any one moment, a snapshot may contain plans for the future (schedules and timetables) as well as historical data (audit trails). So a list of past loans would be a valid attribute of a book.

There have been many valid criticisms of these preoperative radiation studies. These criticisms include the varied dose and fractionation schedules. No two trials have used the same radiation regimen. None of these trials have allowed an adequate interval between completion of radiation and surgery.

The conceptual phase The team then reviews the ideas against relevant project criteria such as potential impact on long-term project economics, impact on operations and maintenance costs, effect on the capital cost for the project, validity to the project scope of work, technical risks associated with implementation of the new concept, impact on project schedule, and cost required to implement the improvement. Each study has specific criteria against which proposed alterna-... 

The presentation phase The VIP team formally presents the profitability recommendations consistent with the objectives and constraints of the workshop and their implementation plans to the steering committee or the project management team. The steering committee then approves those recommendations that pass muster and authorizes the project team to begin the implementation effort. Often, this approval is conditional on early validation by subject matter experts within the project owner s organization, but not present within the workshop. This external feasibility check is meant to provide support to the project team for any additional resources and schedule time needed to fully incorporate the improvements into the project scope of work. 

Pipework systems, valves and vent filters should be properly designed to facilitate cleaning and sterilization. The use of clean in place and sterilize in place systems should be encouraged. Valves on fermentation vessels should be completely steam sterilizable. Air vent filters should be hydrophobic and validated for their scheduled lifespan. 

At the opposite end of the spectrum, consider a computer system used to track inert material in a warehouse. Errors in the system may inconvenience the production schedule, but have little or no chance of causing real harm. Even a complete misidentification will be quickly corrected in a QA test of final product. For such a system some validation is stiU necessary, but a higher tolerance could be used (smaller samples, less frequent rechecks, and broader testing parameters).
